Giving can be simple

A well-placed, thoughtful gift through TCF will impact quality of life in deeply meaningful ways. Donor gifts are the loving seeds which we at the Foundation nurture and tend. The product of your gifts and our attention leads directly to transformational community growth. The Community Foundation is the single most flexible institution for charitable giving. We help donors easily achieve their personal philanthropic goals.

You can give today, or give tomorrow; both have strategic advantages depending on your personal life situation. Give today to receive tax advantages on earnings or inheritances and advise the Foundation’s work; give tomorrow to lighten tax burdens on your heirs or donate your home or property to a group you care about.

Reasons for giving are personal and diverse. Many donors want the professional services and philanthropic expertise offered by a community foundation. Others want tax or estate-planning advantages. Some just want to know their charitable contribution is being used wisely.

Taos Community Foundation will help you achieve your personal philanthropic goals.

Giving can be simple...

Step One: Pick

You may already know why you want to give, but if you're unsure, review Our Impact to get a better feel for the kinds of work we do. Review our existing Funds, and read up to understand your options for donating to projects and organizations we support, or arrange your own unique gift. When in doubt you can give directly to the Taos Community Foundation General Fund. We'll put any amount to good use.

Step Two: Click

When you've picked, click one of those yellow Paypal "Donate" buttons next to any of our funds, events or projects and to start the simple online giving process (here are the instructions).

Step Three: Give

Make your gift to any Taos Community Foundation fund, non-profit partner, sponsored project, memorial fund, or join the Plaza de Legado and pledge a gift for the future.

How to Make Your Donation

Give By Check (mail):

If you would like to donate by writing a check, please include the name of the fund in the memo line and then mail your donation to the Foundation at PO Box 1925, Taos, NM 87571

Give By PayPal (online):

Our main fund categories on the pick.click.give page are easy ways to donate to a cause without getting too specific. With this choice, your donation goes to the area of greatest need. If you want to give to a specific smaller fund which falls under one of these categories (or to an existing Memorial Fund) please make sure that you write the name of the fund, you will see a blue arrow and the text "Add special instructions for TCF" - click this and there will be a text box which expands for you to write your memo.

Give By Transferring Assets:

You may give by transferring assets to the Foundation. This process is relatively quick and painless. Give Traci a call at our office to discuss your giving plans today.
